Instead of being purely based on one entity,
this story takes background from Classic Donald Duck
cartoons, Ducktales, and Darkwing
Duck.

Disclaimers: Disney owns most of these characters. Dumbella Duck's past as
Bella Widgeon is mine, as are the characters of Melanie Widgeon, Ronnie and Lisa
Mallard, and whomever else I mention in the future.

Author Notes: This story is a sequel to the stories "Back to the Nest" and
"Extended Wings". Reading those stories prior this one would help; though you
most likely could understand this story regardless.

Chapter 6 : Meanwhile

Written By: Brad Eugene Palmer

As Gosalyn got up to the Mallards' suite, she found the small letter box
Drake used for storing messages to the family that some business required
Darkwing's attention. The letterbox was locked; a sure sign that there was a
letter inside. Gosalyn quickly unlocked the letterbox using the combination that
only she, Launchpad and Morgana knew (apart from Drake himself, obviously).
Gosalyn picked up the note inside and found out that Drake, as Darkwing, was
assigned to help guard the inventor's convention in Brazil. The teen nodded and
put it back in the box before re-locking it (so that Morgana would get a chance
to read it too before it was destroyed) and getting her binoculars and camera.

Meanwhile, Taurus Bulba finally arrived near the hotel that the Mallards were
staying at. With the aid of his telescopic eye and, under the further cover of
his super-cloaking device (which makes him invisible to the unaided eye as well
as most forms of radar and sonar) kept careful watch from a distance for his
opportunity to strike at the Mallard family. "First your family, Darkwing, then
you." Bulba said with a quiet but cruel laugh.

While sight seeing, Gosalyn kept an eye out for Huey, in case he was already
in Brazil. She came to the museum that was keeping the large diamond that the
Fearsome Five was after. She figured that looking at the types of works of art
this foreign museum might hold just might be at least a good way to kill an
afternoon. Gosalyn decided to take the tour, unaware that five familiar figures
in long, all concealing brown trench coats and extra-wide brimmed brown fedoras
were also taking the tour to "case the joint".

Meanwhile, the Duck triplets came up to the same museum that Gosalyn and the
Fearsome Five were at. "So, sibs, what do you say about us taking in a little
culture? Dewey asked.

"Well, I didn't have any better ways to spend the afternoon so, why not?"
Louie answered.

"So my friends, how did you all enjoy the meal? How is the Flan?" he asked.

"It is delicious!" Donald exclaimed.

"I am glad! And the Cajuzinho?" Jose' asked.

Melanie picked up a Cajuzinho.

"That's what this is called? This chocolate with the peanut on the top?" the
child asked.

Jose' nodded.

"Si. Long time ago it was made with Caju'...cashews. But, in time it was
revealed that we would make great profit exporting cashews nuts to Europe, and
peanuts were substituted," Jose' informed.

"Wow!" Melanie replied.

Jose' smiled. He was quite proud of his heritage and was flattered in
Melanie's interest. Though, he was more interested in what her mother Bella
thought about.

"The day is still young my friends. Bella, may I next you to a dance?"

Bella giggled.

"Tomorrow night perhaps?" she asked. "Thank you very much, but, I just got
here and would like explore a bit first."

"Let me tour you?" Jose' offered.

Bella shook her head.

"No thank you, tomorrow. I have Melanie, and would like to do something with
her. And there's Daisy, too, to consider. Because I know you and Donald have
much to talk about, right?" Bella gathered, looking at her brother.

Donald nodded.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Donald said. "We have much to catch up upon. That is if you
don't mind honey?"

Daisy glanced over to Donald and put on a smile.

"Oh no, I don't mind," she replied. "Though we are doing something tomorrow?"

Donald nodded his head quickly.

Daisy put a hand on Donald and Jose's shoulders.

"Have fun you too," Daisy said, kissing Donald on the lips. "Bella, Melanie,
and I are going to hang out a bit. Great meeting you, Jose'."

"The pleasure was all mine, Daisy. And Bella, till tomorrow," Jose' stated.

Bella smiled.

"Till tomorrow," Bella replied.

Jose' arose from his seat and kissed Bella on the hand.

Bella nervously moved her hand back.

"Do I scare you?" he asked.

Bella shook her head.

"No," she said in a quiet voice. "No," she said a bit louder. "You surprised
me."

Jose' smiled.

"A good surprise I pray. Till tomorrow," he said again lifting his hand.

"So, when you push this level, the whole house should have 24/7
surveillance," Gyro informed.

Launchpad scratched his head.

"Hasn't one of these already been invented?"

"Oh yes, of course Launchpad, but this is different. Unlike previous models,
this one has a brain."

"Mmm...Like GizmoDuck?" Launchpad asked.

"Well, not exactly. It's like the GICU2; yet, it's less sensitive and more
sensitive the same time. It knows the genetic makeup of its owner. In this
matter, it defends the household by sending the alarm by anyone except for the
person or persons with the genetic material known by the machine," Gyro
explained.

"Wow, impressive!"

"Thanks!" Gyro gleamed.

"You're welcome." Launchpad replied.

Darkwing was doing his tenth lap around the hall, when he heard a
disturbance.

"Hey Launchpad!" Darkwing called in a loud whisper.

"What is it DW?" Launchpad called back.

"Shh...I hear something, let's investigate," Darkwing called.

Launchpad nodded, and followed Darkwing. Together, Darkwing and Launchpad
began to investigate. Darkwing took out his handy magnify glass and started to
search for clues.

"Let me get you two a couple of outfits from your luggage," Morgana said.

"Mom, I can dress myself you know." Ronnie informed.

Morgana nodded.

"Of course you can, but let me pick out something for you, okay? You too
Lisa."

"Okay Mommy, where are Gos and Daddy, and Launchpad?" Lisa asked.

"I don't know Honey," Morgana said eyeing the Lockbox on the table. "I would
guess they are out sight seeing or something."

"Okay," Lisa said, taking off her bathing suit.

Ronnie closed his eyes.

"Mom can I go change in the bathroom!" he asked.

Morgana nodded, then realizing Ronnie had his eyes closed, "Yes, you may,
here you grab this."

Morgana handed her son a T-shirt and a pair of shorts before he entered the
bathroom.

"Come on Lisa, let me help you change." she said then.

"Okay Mommy," Lisa said.

After Morgana finished dressing Lisa, she heard a noise that startled her.

Morgana jumped three feet in the air.

She heard another noise and this time made a slight gasping noise.

"Mom?" the voice of her son called. "Is it safe to come out yet? Is Lisa
dressed?"

Morgana made a sigh of relief, and took a moment to regain her breath.

"Yes," she said, "Lisa's dressed."

Ronnie opened the door.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" Lisa asked.

"Ronnie startled me...I thought I heard..." Morgana began, when she sensed a
slight breeze in the air.

At first notice, Morgana was considering ignoring the sensation as simple
wind, but something was telling her this was not the case.

"Get back in the bathroom! You too, Lisa," Morgana whispered.

Author Notes:

Hello again! Flan, and Cajuzinho are two Brazilian treats I heard about on
this wonderful site I looked up for research for Brazilian desserts. They looked
very delicious and interesting. I also felt it would be important to include
ethic dishes.

Anyone remember the GICU2? Well, that's from way back in the Super
Ducktales TV Movie, the one that told the origin of GizmoDuck. It was replayed
in parts (plus one added part) in the Ducktales series as well. It was the Van
security system that preceded GizmoDuck. LOL
